Larry, the "D" in "D Hankins" stands for "Dave", not "Dan" <grin>. Have you had
an opportunity to play with Gimpel Lint for the Amiga? You can selectively turn
off error/warning messages that you don't care to see.
As I see it, the biggest advantages that assembly has over C, is that assembly
language programs can be made MUCH smaller than their C counterparts, and also
somewhat faster. However, I think you pay a price in development time,
portability, and subsequent code modification when you develop in assembly. As
a developer, one has to way the benefits of the two approaches (assembly versus
high level language).
